Esau is a lanky guard with excellent footwork getting to shots around the rim or in the mid-range. A fluid scorer from a variety of situations in the paint, he is adept at creating space for fadeways or step throughs. Esau’s height advantage allows him opportunities to kick out over the top and ready the defense above a mismatch.

Esau is a smooth shotmaker off the dribble, bringing in efficient scoring versus contests and contact. Effective elevating around the rim, the guard has a bit more flare at the rim than one might expect.

Read EvaluationLaython Washington | Prep Hoops Scout
Despite the loss, Esau represented Colorado well. Noticed the amount of paint touches he gets. Almost any time he penetrated he go into the paint. Like to attack the middle of the lane. He was getting to his spots for an easy soft touch. Looks to finish through the contact, and the wait will help him finish more consistent.
